IF the shutdown box will not hold vacuum, that is at least 1 of your problems. Even with one thats leaking, they will still sometimes shut down the engine if everything else holds vacuum. If you start to get a leak somewhere else, then the weak leaking shutdown box cant do its thing anymore.

And of course, the shutdown has worked perfectly this afternoon. Five
drives and five events of "ok, you want the engine to stop, so here
you go."

Question -- could it be [and please no, sweet Jesus, no] that the
vacuum pump is intermittent of failing?

If I threw a vacuum gauge on the output at the brake boost, what
should I read in psi?

I might be worrying needlessly. The shutdown box definitely won't hold
a vacuum.
